Abstract in brief

  • The study found that symptoms of hoarding disorder typically begin between ages 10 and 20, with diagnosis often occurring between ages 20 and 30, and about 23% of older adults experienced onset after age 40.
  • Hoarding symptoms tend to increase gradually over time, with men showing higher initial clutter levels but a slower rate of symptom escalation, while higher education levels are linked to a slower increase in hoarding behaviors.
  • Family history influences hoarding severity, as having at least one parent with hoarding tendencies correlates with higher initial symptoms, indicating a potential genetic or familial component to the disorder.]
